I happen to know of someone in Hampton who has this habit of judging establishments like restaurants and clothing lines, depending on the price of their products. He believes that the more expensive something is, like a food or a coffee or a pair of pants, the more likely it will be of high quality. This is his reason and excuse for always buying the more expensive things and always going out in expensive places. He claims that it would all be worth it because he paid a good deal to have it.

Most if the time, he is correct with this notion. There is always a greater price to pay for quality. This is because people on the other end of the business want to earn more for the efforts they put up in order to provide quality service and products.

However, while this notion holds its merits, one could never be sure that it would always be the case, and my friend had to find out that truth the hard way.

One time, his house in Hampton had to go through a remodeling because it got ruined when his roof was not able to hold off the snow that was covering every house in the area because of a blizzard. As expected, he the first roofing company he saw had the highest pay rate, and he did not even mind finding out more about the said company.

What happened with his roof after the remodeling looked okay at first. He was pleased until in just less than a month, problems in his roof were beginning to manifest again. When he called the roofing company to check on it, he was again bombarded with a different set of bills that he will have to pay if he wants them to take a look at it.

Having felt scammed, my friend decided to consult another roofing service. He came across a “cheaper” roofing company. When he called to have a quotation, he was skeptical but amazed that the company offered very reasonable rates for his roof repair problems and that they offer quality results. Seeing that he needs to cut cost because of t expense he just had over a failed roof and a good for nothing roofing company, he hired them anyways to fix the mess that the previous roofing company made.

The best part, he has learned that quality does not always come with a price. Sometimes, you just have to find the right service for the things you need, may it be for a roofing problem or for any other problem like plumbing issues or real estate needds. It is okay to not only rely on the fact that they are expensive and are surely going to provide good quality. At the end of the day, the product is the key, not the price.
